arrogantalloyThe chances of me getting a turkey the size of Rogers over Thanksgiving is high.
Everyone not American might not get it. But history aside, a turkey the size of non-muscular Gryffindors is really the only reason to celebrate the day.
Please tell me I'm not the only one looking forward to edible monster birds?

actuallyspeakslatinHogsmeade is next weekend, and I'll skip Quidditch practice to go. I don't care if we play the week after, I'll do late night practices after classes if that's the case. I'm ready for the match regardless of if I skip a practice.
The bonfire the other night was fun, I went through the fire first thing. Doing something with the possibility of danger gives such an adrenaline rush. Finding out your friend burnt off his eyebrows after is a bit of a downer though. I've done my fair share of dumb ideas as well, and I'm not talking about letting someone use an apple on top of my head for target practice. That's fairly simple compared to attempting to jump from one broom to another broom while in mid flight, that was fun though.

accioleggingsI'VE BEEN SEVERELY SLACKING IN ASSIGNING HOMEWORK AND FOR THAT I APOLOGIZE, NOT THAT MAY OF YOU HAVE REALLY MINDED. SO!
THIS ASSIGNMENT WILL SPAN ALL YEARS AND ALL HOUSES. I WANT YOU ALL TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR OWN FAMILY HISTORY AND TRACK DOWN THE FIRST TRACES OF MAGIC IN YOUR FAMILY. FROM THAT I WANT YOU TO MAKE A FAMILY TREE THAT STRETCHES DOWN FROM THEM TO YOU. I'M AWARE THAT THERE ARE AN AWFUL LOT OF SIBLINGS AND COUSINS AND OTHER RELATIONS HERE AT HOGWARTS SO DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP FROM ONE ANOTHER WHEN FILLING IN GAPS. THE SAME GOES FOR FAMILY NOT AT SCHOOL. WRITE HOME, ASK QUESTIONS, ASK FOR FAMILY HEIRLOOMS OR PAPERS YOU CAN STUDY.
FOR STUDENTS WITH A HEAVY MAGICAL LINEAGE, DON'T FORGET TO INCLUDE NON-MAGICAL RELATIVES AND THOSE WITHOUT A LONG HISTORY OF MAGIC IN THEIR FAMILY, DO A BIT OF SEARCHING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU MIGHT FIND A GREAT-UNCLE TWICE REMOVED WHO HAD A HABIT OF TURNING TAX COLLECTORS INTO NEWTS.
ONCE ALL IS SAID AND DONE YOU'LL PRESENT YOUR FINDINGS IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK HERE OR IN PERSON. MY DOOR IS ALWAYS OPEN.
[Added later:]
SINCE I'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THESE QUESTIONS I FEEL LIKE IT'LL BE EASIER TO JUST LEAVE THE ANSWERS HERE.
1. PRESENTATION TO THE CLASS IS NOT MANDATORY IF YOU'RE NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. I'M OT GOING TO FORCE ANYONE INTO PUBLIC SPEAKING AND IT WILL NOT EFFECT YOUR GRADE.
2. STUDENTS WHO WERE ADOPTED MAY DO THEIR TREES BASED ON THEIR ADOPTIVE FAMILIES. FAMILY DOESN'T END WITH BLOOD AFTER ALL.
3. MUGGLEBORN STUDENTS SHOULD DO THE ASSIGNMENT AS NORMAL, JUST KEEP A LOOK OUT IN YOUR RESEARCH FOR ANY POSSIBLE MAGICAL RELATIVES.

wwistfulRavenclaw and Slytherin. It's been some time since I've assigned you work. I'd hate for your minds to wander while your professor is busy with near endless preperations, so I've taken the time to set you some busywork and warn you about your future curriculum.
First years, we will be studying the correct ways to treat and bandage wounds in an emergency. There will be practicals and you will be practising. I trust that the idea of bandaging a classmate won't throw you all into veritable fits of excitement.
In preperation for this I ask, Why put pressure on a bleeding wound?
Second years I'm sure you'll be thrilled to know we will be studying Cornish Pixies. If I'm feeling particularly magnanimous I may set one lose and have you attempt to catch it. I warn you, they do bite.
Third years can you tell me what the Lumos Duo spell is most commonly used in defence of? The answer will provide you with the subject of our next studies.
Fourth years as you've been informed, we are studying curses with a special attention to the unforgivable curses. I want you to name one and write me at least ten lines on why it has been deemed unforgivable.
Fifth years we will be studying the effective use of jinxes in battle and defence. I want you to name a jinx and write twenty lines on theoretical a situation it would be beneficial to use in.
Sixth years it is my great pleasure to announce that we are slowly ready to move on from the theory of nonverbal spells and we will begin to practise them. We will be starting with very basic spells, but remember that they take an immense amount of concentration. I advise that you rest up before classes.
You may rest, of course, once you write ten lines on the importance of nonverbal spells and what kind of things are important to perfect them. For example: To become proficient at nonverbal spells, one must become particularly good at focusing.
Seventh years will be going over theory with me and on Friday we will be having an in-class discussion about the psychological impacts of Dark Magic and curses. It will be a draining class, perhaps emotionally so. As with the sixth years, I advise you rest up and fortunately, you are free from the wrath of assignments.
Thank you and remember to ASK if you are in a state of complete and utter confusion. I would rather suffer through a stupid question than receive unsatisfactory work. It makes us both look bad when I grade you and I do so hate using red ink.

Oct. 31st, 2012 04:06 pmstatus_is_not_quoNow that everyone is done celebrating boorish feats of strength, I was wondering if I could get 5-10 volunteers to help me test a new spell that I've been working on. It's a very simple security spell, and I can guarantee with 82% certainty that you won't get hurt if you agree to be a subject. It's not intended to be harmful, we'll put it that way. (You might, however, experience residual tingling in the extremities, and possibly loosened bowels. I'm still working out the kinks.
For liability reasons, I'll only take volunteers third year and up (I would say fifth and up, but, well, I wouldn't want to exclude anyone my age). My name is Billy Harris, Slytherin 5th year, and if you leave your name, house, and year I will contact you within the next few days to sort out the experiment.

camebackhomeIt's been over a month and a half and I still don't know what to think about Hogwarts - it's nothing like how Dean described it at all. Does the house you get sorted into make that big of a difference?
It's a lot louder then I was expecting, more crowded. Not to mention I still don't have the stair schedules down, so I keep getting lost.
The dorms are alright, at least, even if they can be kind of cold. The library is the absolute best part, though. Does anybody have books they can recommend?
I wish home was more like this.
[Both strikes are relatively legible, despite Sam's efforts.]

brothorOnce again, denizens of Hogwarts, I must bring your attention to me!
When I announced my seer powers I may have...acted with haste. It has been confirmed that the ball does not have powers of divination, but it does not mean my predictions are entirely false either.
If I made a predicition in regards to your future, do not dismiss it. You do not need the amazing power of future telling to light your own path. You need a certain kind of strength and courage that only stems from a firm belief in your own abilities. If it helps any, I believe in all of you. Every one of us is destined for greatness!
I cannot, however, predict the outcome of dinner. So if you had a particular craving, for duck maybe, I do not think strength of character will provide you with it.
I am sorry.

Usagi does not need your company, Winchester. She has mine.

I don't know who decided to give Zazzerpan pie, but I would advise against doing it again as he was very sick all over the goat pen. Seeing that it was just a very simple case of stomach upset and since he's feeling much better now, I'm not terribly angry about this. However, it was very concerning for a while and cleaning up after him was very unpleasant, so I really would appreciate it if you would talk to me before feeding my goat. Thank-you.
And to everyone who happened to have Ancient Runes with me yesterday, [inkblot] I'm very sorry you had to see that. It won't happen again. [Another inkblot] Or it won't happen again if I can figure out exactly what happened. I'll look into it at my earliest possible convenience.

Sep. 25th, 2012 07:32 pmdoctorkishitaniI'm not sure if anyone else has been having this issue with their goats, but Zazzerpan has been following me around and bleating very insistently for quite a while now and I'm getting to be very worried about him. I know that I've been feeding him sufficiently and I've checked him for injuries or possible disease a number of times, so I'm really not sure of what could be wrong.
Any input or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Sep. 21st, 2012 12:53 pmbonafide_divinityI don't offer advice very often, but it just so happens that I'm feeling relatively altruistic today, so listen closely.
If you don't want to be on the Quidditch team for whatever reason -Speaking personally, I can think of a number of perfectly valid justifications for wanting to stay on terra firma- maybe you shouldn't show up for the tryouts
But I think this advice probably comes too late for most of you. My gold's on Hufflepuff this year.
